Hey guys..
I was wondering if using any 802.11b Wireless CF Card would work on OPIE 3.5.3 for the 5500. I've been asking around and no one can seem to give me a direct answer or a specific card I can purchase. I don't want to purchase a wireless cf card and then it doesn't work. Too much hassel to return it when ordering on the net. Thanks for your help guys. |

2 cards I know work from personal experience:
SMC EZ Connect 11Mbps Wireless CF Card Model No: SMC2642W Linksys Wireless CompactFlash Card 2.4GHz 802.11b Model No: WCF12 I've been using the SMC EZ connect since OZ 3.2 or so. Never had to mess with any configurations. I just plugged it in and it worked. I got the Linksys card (actually arrived today) because the SMC card is kind of falling apart. The back is coming unglued and it doesn't always detect correctly any more. I *have* subjected it to about a year of abuse, carrying ot around in my pocket almost constantly, inserting/removing from the Zaurus multiple times every day. The Linksys feels a little more solidly constructed to me (and it looks nicer). When it arrived today I took out the SMC, plugged in the Linksys and OZ just brought the interface right back up. No configuration changes at all. HTH. -John |

I'm using it with OZ 3.5.3 without issue. The problem is that OZ 35.3. has tonnes of problems on the sl5k. I'm about to downgragde to OZ 3.5.2.
